Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth. For I rejoiced greatly, when the
brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even
as thou walkest in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear
that my children walk in truth.

Beloved,
thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren,
and to strangers; Which have borne witness of thy charity before
the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after
a godly sort, thou shalt do well: Because that for his name's
sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore
ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the
truth.

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes,
who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth,
prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith,
neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth
them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

Beloved,
follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that
doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself:
yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is
true. I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and
pen write unto thee: But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and
we shall speak face to face.

Peace
be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

(3
John 1:2-14)

But
ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And of some have compassion, making a difference:

And
others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even
the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to
keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the
presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God
our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now
and ever. Amen. (Jude 1:20-25)

Cephas Ministry
cordially invites you to subscribe to our free newsletter.
The controversial International Social Pulse deals with the Church
/ Global Issues / Israel, and is edited by Rita Williams

Cephas Ministry advocates KJV
Bible only to study for truth necessary to become part
of the Bride of Christ. The Bible states that the Bible is the
only truth available to us.

MORE GREETINGS to all and the newcomers to this list. We'd
like to introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams founded
this ministry. George went to be with the Lord in 2003. We were
Mormons (Temple Mormons) for 20 years. We prayed to God in 1992
to allow us to do a ministry speaking out against Scientology.
Six months later God led us to the truth: out of the cult of
Mormonism. We did not know at the time we were in a cult. No-one
had witnessed to us in 20 years.

The Holy Spirit brought us to information about all the cults
and the present development of the New World Order. We began
bringing our research to you. Because all the research was already
done, we decided to build a library within Cephas Ministry. Our
newsletters are not designed to provoke
anger which is strictly prohibited in Scripture. It is to shed
light on activities by those who would deceive those who are
recorded in the Book of Life by devious methods and systematic
plans.

We are Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
We attend church if the message is from the authorized KJV Bible.
The focus of these newsletters is to prove why we had to leave
the world system. We are called 'Watchmen on the Wall' which
God always had during the Old / New Testament Times.

To understand what is happening, one has to know the Bible
to compare notes.

The first section is about the church.
The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes.
The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This
began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the
Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican
I.

The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what
the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all
inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church
and today's church doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word
of God has undergone many changes to fit the progressive modes.
Many new Bible tranlations have brought confusion. The Bible
calls for a falling away from churches and becoming
atheistic before Jesus comes back for His Bride. The true believers
are called 'Ekklesia.' Our newsletters prove this fact and prove
that the Bible is true from beginning to end.

The second section is about globalism
where we bring your attention to the social, political and global
trend, the so called democratizing what is left of the world.
This is a deception since the underlying new world global government
is developed by implementing sustainable development (Agenda
21). The Bible prophesies that there will be ten kings (ten
horns), each king (horn) will receive a region of the world as
a reward for work well done for the Antichrist. This is the reason
for the present development of NAU (The North American Union)
as well as the war in the Middle East. It again proves that we
are moving to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied
in the Bible. The end result will not be Democracy but a form
of Fascist Communism (Public/Private Corporations enslaving mankind).

The third section compliments End Time
teachings because Israel is the time piece of the Biblical Prophecy.
1948 was the beginning of the figtree representing Israel, coming
back to life. Israel was allowed to return to its land. Israel
is the rock upon which the world stumbles and crumbles. We watch
and visit Israel for signs which point to the Tribulation to
confirm that we are moving into that space of time.

Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. We have
an email group that gets information when we upload new information
and newsletters whenever it is possible time wise. We love the
Lord with all our hearts and minds and we love all people God
has created but especially those who love our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Our Mission and Statement of Faith are at http://www.livelyhope.co/statement_of_faith.html

We trust that
our readers will not be discouraged. It is Gods
will that we know the times (1 Ch. 12:32; Mat. 16:3) and that we be as wise as serpents
and harmless as doves.

The Cephas
Newsletter reminds us that the hour is very late, and we need
to be ready for the Lords coming. Are you sure that
you are born again? Are you living for Christ?

"And
that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out
of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not
in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness,
not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof"
(Rom.
13:11-14).

PS We are seeking
the truth and use much material from many sources only when we
believe their material could be of service to you. That should
not imply that we endorse ministries, news organizations or various
authors. We are not all-knowing and cannot predict what people
will write in the future. CMI

QUEEN OF ALL

THE MARIAN APPARITIONS' PLAN
TO UNITE ALL RELIGIONS UNDER THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH JIM
TETLOW AND ROGER OAKLAND

I would like to inform you
of a new end times audio drama that exposes the coming ET and
Marian deception by Jim Tetlow and myself with the help of many
people. It is called 'The Coming Global Transformation.'

THE FEAR OF THE LORD
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that
is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. (Job
28:28)

This key phrase, the fear of the LORD (Yahweh), occurs
in a distinctive pattern in the Old Testament. There are 14 occurrences
in the book of Proverbs and seven in the other books, or a total
of three times seven altogether, both of which are important
Bible numbers.

As we see from the verses in Job preceding our text, when God
made man He told him that true wisdom is the fear of the
Lord (Adonaithe only use of Adonai with this phrase).
Unfortunately, Adam and Eve sought wisdom in the tree of knowledge
instead (Genesis 3:6) and soon were hiding themselves in fear.
The psalmist testifies: The fear of the LORD is the beginning
of wisdom (Psalm 111:10). The final occurrence of the phrase
is also in a wisdom context. And wisdom and knowledge shall
be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the
fear of the LORD is his treasure (Isaiah 33:6).

There are numerous other references to fearing God, and a survey
of all these would quickly show that the fear of the Lord is
far more than mere reverential trust, as some would
define it. It means profound awe, intense awareness of Gods
hatred of sin, as well as His omniscience and omnipresence, and
living in light of the certainty of facing Him at His future
judgment seat. It means unquestioning belief in Gods Word
and in His unmerited gift of salvation.

But then it also means the beginning of knowledge,
to hate evil, prolongeth days, strong
confidence, a fountain of life, and satisfied,
as well as attaining true riches and honour (Proverbs
1:7; 8:13; 10:27; 14:26; 14:27; 19:23; 22:4). The fear
of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever (Psalm 19:9), and
those who truly fear the Lord have everlasting life. HMM http://www.icr.org/

March 7, 2017 - Better is little with the fear of the
LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. Better is a dinner
of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
(Proverbs 15:16-17)

There are many such comparisons as those in our text that have
been incorporated in the book of Proverbs. We tend to think in
financial terms, but the true measure of worth has
nothing to do with money. In fact, one could almost develop an
inverse law to the effect that the more money one has, the less
happiness and contentment he enjoys. Note the frequency of such
equations in Proverbs.

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues
without right (16:8). Better is a dry morsel, and
quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife
(17:1). Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the
lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud (16:19).
Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than
he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich (28:6).

That which is better, therefore, is to be found with the
fear of the LORD, where love is, with
righteousness, and quietness therewith. It
is better when one is of an humble spirit, who walketh
in his uprightness.

This is a lesson that the many affluent Christian men and women
of our prosperous nation urgently need to learn today. Note Pauls
counsel to young Timothy. Speaking of men who are destitute
of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness, he warns,
From such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment
is great gain (1 Timothy 6:5-6). Then comes a very sobering
commentary: But they that will be rich fall into temptation
and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, . . . and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows (1 Timothy
6:9-10). HMM http://www.icr.org/

WILLING TO BE FOOLS FOR JESUS
CHRISThttp://www.pawcreek.org/willing-to-be-fools-for-jesus-christ/

A TIME TO DIE

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)

In the first eight verses of Ecclesiastes 3 there is a remarkable
listing of 28 times arranged in 14 pairs of opposites
(e.g., a time to be born and a time to die). Every
timed event is planned by God and has a purpose (v.
1), and everything is beautiful in Gods time
for it (v. 11).

Although it is beyond our finite comprehension, it is still bound
to be true that the infinite, omnipotent God worketh all
things after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1:11).
Even when in our time we may not understand how a particular
event can be purposeful or beautiful, we can have faith that
if it occurs in Gods time for it, it is (Romans 8:28).

The time of our birth is, of course, not under our control, but
we can certainly have a part in determining the occurrence of
all the other 13 times, even the time of death. With
the exception of those still living at the time of Christs
return, each of us will eventually die. God has appointed a time
for each individual, and it is wrong for him or her to shorten
that time (by suicide or careless living, which can never be
part of His will for any of us).

We should say with David, My times are in thy hand
(Psalm 31:15), and seek to live in ways pleasing to Him as long
as He allows us to live. We should pray that, when our time is
finished, He will enable us to die in a manner that will be beautiful
in his time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

Not one of us knows when that ordained time to die
may be for us, so we must seek daily to walk in wisdom
toward them that are without, redeeming the time (Colossians
4:5). HMM http://www.icr.org/

Since Internet has
become international, new rules are forcing providers to find
alternative ways to function. In fact this morning it came up
that Internet may end since too much information is getting to
the public.

I don't want to
count the times I have had to regroup to keep going. I found
out today that the most important website 'Natural News'
(about health) was black-listed by Google. His
library of between approximately 140,000 files were deleted.

That is nothing
new for me. It happened to Cephas Ministry in 2012. I also found
out since that my email address is blacklisted as well in numerous
places.

Natural News was
approached to snitch on his friends who are about truth, for
a large sum of money. He refused.

Alex Jones is recuperating
from a financial hit caused by people he works with. Alex is
on the radio in Denver. The problem is, they wind up static so
you can't understand what he is saying.

Drudge had several
close calls a while ago.

True news will soon
be history. They want complete control over what our minds are
fed from TV, movies, magazines, their newsletters, & books,
etc. I could be producing YouTubes but got so much flack from
Google that I lost interest. I have some listed, but Google hides
them. :)

Study Bible by AMG Publisher 1994 edition.

Although all the word switches
that are found are in my Bible, the 'The All-seeing Eye' is not
there. Instead there is a heading that God is omnipresent and
omniscient.

Ken Copeland's KJV printed 1991
has no heading on Psalm 139. Another Holy Bible KJV printed in
1967 in London, Great Britain, no heading on Psalm 139. I was
hoping that Bible would be in tact but no such luck: Isaiah

the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the
young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall
lead them." same change. It should read: "The Lion
shall dwell with the Lamb" reason being the Lion depicts
Jesus Christ and so does the Lamb] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTqwWHz0K0w

Isaiah 11:6 "The wolf
also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling
together; and a little child shall lead them." It should
read: "The Lion and the Lamb." A member of the group
who talk about these issues found proof that it should indeed
be Lion and the Lamb in a book both hard copy and soft copy providing
proof of the original Lion Vs. Wolf (Hard Copy Version)

IS WHY LAWMAKERS ARE BEGINNING TO WORRY ABOUT THE CHIP - THE
LAWMAKERS WILL BE IMPLANTED AS WELL

CASH NO LONGER KING: EUROPE
BEGINS ELIMINATION OF PAPER MONEY

By: Shaun Bradley - February
10, 2017 - [Technocracy requires a cashless society so that everyone
is included. A digital system can then be converted into an energy
currency. This requirement was set in the 1930s by the original
designers of Technocracy.] TN Editor - In the shadow of Donald
Trumps spree of controversial actions, the European commission
has quietly launched the next offensive in the war on cash.
These unelected bureaucrats have boldly asserted their intention
to crack down on paper transactions across the E.U. and solidify
a trend that has been gaining momentum for years.

The financial uncertainty amplified
by Brexit has incentivized governments throughout Europe to seize
further control over their banking systems. France and Spain
have already criminalized cash transactions above a certain limit,
but now the commission has unilaterally established new regulations
that will affect the entire union. The fear of physical money
flowing out of the trade bloc has manifested a draconian response
from the State.

The European Action Plan doesnt
mention a specific dollar amount for restrictions, but as expected,
their reasoning for the move is to thwart money laundering and
the financing of terrorism. Border checks between countries have
already been bolstered to help implement these new standards
on hard assets. Although these end goals are plausible, there
are other clear motivations for governments to target paper money
that arent as noble.

Negative interest rates and
high inflation are a deadly combination that could further destabilize
the already fragile union in the future. With less physical currency
circulating, these trends ensure that the impact of any additional
central bank policies will be maximized. If economic conditions
deteriorate, the threat of citizens pulling cash out of their
accounts and starting a bank run is eliminated in a cashless
system. So long as the peoples wealth is under centralized
control, funds can be shifted at will to conceal any underlying
problems. But the longer this shell game is allowed to persist,
the more painful it will be when reality overrides the manipulation.
Since former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund
(IMF), Kenneth Rogoff, published a paper last year advocating
for the U.S. $100 bill to be removed, governments around the
world have pushed forward their agendas towards a cashless society.
He wrote: There is little debate among law-enforcement
agencies that paper currency, especially large notes such as
the U.S. $100 bill, facilitates crime: racketeering, extortion,
money laundering, drug and human trafficking, the corruption
of public officials, not to mention terrorism. There are substitutes
for cashcryptocurrencies, uncut diamonds, gold coins, prepaid
cardsbut for many kinds of criminal transactions, cash
is still king. It delivers absolute anonymity, portability, liquidity
and near-universal acceptance. https://www.technocracy.news/index.php/2017/02/10/cash-no-longer-king-europe-begins-elimination-paper-money/

NEVADA
LAWMAKER SEEKS PRECAUTIONARY BAN ON HUMAN MICROCHIPS

February 15, 2017 - By Alison
Noon. - February 15, 2017 - Computer chips that store personal
information and could be used to pinpoint someone's location
could not be implanted in humans without consent under a bill
Nevada state lawmakers weighed on Monday.
Lawmakers on a judicial panel considered whether Nevada should
join at least four other states in banning mandatory identification
markers in people as a precaution to keep the emerging technology
from creeping into workplaces, prisons or hospitals.

Republican Sen. Becky Harris
of Las Vegas, sponsor of the legislation, said she's worried
computer chips could pose serious risks to human rights and public
health. "This is a completely new issue," Harris said.
"I just want a safety measure in place until we better understand
the technology and the reasoning behind people's desire to require
implanting chips."

ACLU of Nevada Policy Director
Holly Welborn said there's no impending need to protect people
against mandatory microchipping, but there's no question the
technology would violate rights to personal autonomy and privacy.
"There really aren't, under any circumstance, any justifications
for that type of a tracking device on a human being," Welborn
said. The chips are currently used to track goods, find lost
pets and make no-swipe credit card purchases. Sean Sullivan,
Washoe County deputy public defender, said the bill may also
prohibit radiologists from using tattoos as permanent identifiers
of where on patients to aim treatment. Others voiced concerns
that it would forbid families and legal guardians of Alzheimer's
patients from deciding to put computer chips in those patients,
who often wander in later stages of the disease.
The Senate Committee on Judiciary did not vote Monday on Senate
Bill 109.

Radio frequency identification
or RFID technology can be encapsulated in glass tubes roughly
the size of two grains of rice and can be injected under skin.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
approved the chips for use in humans in 2004. Two employees at
an Ohio-based surveillance company stirred public debate in 2006
when they embedded the chips in their forearms to access protected
vaults and police images.

Wisconsin, North Dakota, California
and Oklahoma subsequently enacted legislation banning any required
implantations, according to the National Conference of State
Legislatures. Welborn said municipalities in Canada, Sweden and
Australia have considered, but not enacted, laws mandating the
chips for certain groups, such as criminals considered a potential
threat to society.

AMAZON
GETS THE BALL ROLLING - NO FOOD WITHOUT A CHIP?

SHOP-POCALYPSE Amazon planning
to open robotic supermarket staffed by just THREE humans, sources
claim. Online retail giant reportedly developing prototype of
a futuristic store which could finally finish off the humble
British cornershop
by JOSH KOSMAN, the New York Post - February 6, 2017 - If youre
a robot stealing somebodys job, its best to stay
hidden. Thats what Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos appears to be
thinking, as his Seattle-based web giant has contemplated a two-story,
automated grocery store in which a staff of robots on the floor
upstairs grabs and bags items for shoppers below. The tech giants
plans could have a devastating effect on the British high street.
The ground level of the futuristic prototype - a supermarket-sized
version of its recently unveiled Amazon Go convenience
store, with a bigger layout that could span anywhere between
10,000 and 40,000 square feet - would be devoted to goods that
shoppers typically like to touch, sources briefed on the plans
told The New Post. Those could include as many as 4,000 items,
spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and cheeses,
and grab-it-and-go stuff like beer and wine, the sources said.
Pharmacies might also might spring up at some of the high-tech
locations, as Amazon looks to break into the lucrative sector,
insiders said. But for many, the most striking feature of the
bigger stores is that they could operate with as few as three
employees at a time. Sources said the plans call for staff to
max out at 10 workers per location during any given shift. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2795408/amazon-planning-to-open-robotic-supermarket-staffed-by-just-two-humans-sources-claim/

By Seth A. Richardson - February
13, 2017 - CARSON CITY  A Senate committee on Monday heard
testimony about a bill from a state senator that would bar forcefully
implanted tracking microchips. Committee members seemed intrigued
by the legislation introduced by State Sen. Becky Harris, R-Las
Vegas, given the somewhat futuristic concept of implanting a
tracking device into a human.

Sounds like a Russian
plot to me, said state Sen. Tick Segerblom, D-Las Vegas.
But tracking implants are very real, Harris said. Known as radio
frequency identification devices, or RFIDs, current uses include
tracking animals and pets as well as in credit cards. Information
is picked up from signals sent between the chip and RFID scanning
devices. The chips are about the size of a grain of rice, Harris
said. Harris said the chips pose serious ethical concerns, such
as who owns the information stored on the chip and who owns the
chip itself. Hacking was also problematic, she said.

Theres no cryptology
or protection measures that were aware of that are placed
on these chips, so its possible to hack the information
contained within the chips, Harris said. It is possible
that you could harass or stalk chipped individuals with the right
type of reader.

Harris said the chips also
pose a potential health problem, citing studies that found fibrosarcoma
and sarcoma, a malignant cancerous tumor, at injection sites
in animal testing. Several concerns were raised during public
testimony over the broad nature of the bill. State Sen. Don Gustavson,
R-Sparks, said there might need to be an exception for military,
while the Sean Sullivan of the Washoe County Public Defenders
office testified it could impede some cancer treatments that
require tattoos for targeting radiation. John Piro of the
Clark County Public Defenders office said he had concerns
with possibly stacking category C felonies. Under the current
bill, a person would be guilty of a category C felony every day
the implant is present. A category C felony is punishable by
between one and five years in prison and a fine of as much as
$20,000.

Harris said she would amend
the bill to alleviate some peoples concerns. http://www.rgj.com/story/news/politics/2017/02/13/forced-tracking-microchip-implants-pose-serious-problem-state-lawmaker-says/97874150/

By Stephanie Condon - CBS News
- February 10, 2010 - The Virgina House of Delegates on Wednesday
approved a measure that could protect Virginia residents from
overbearing employers, and possibly the apocalypse. The law would
make it illegal to implant an identification or tracking device
into a person's body without their written consent. As the use
of implanted microchips becomes more common -- people use them
to track pets and could possibly use them for purposes such as
securing one's medical history -- lawmakers are starting to address
concerns. Some are concerned their use among humans would lead
to a lack of privacy or abuse from employers. Others, the Washington
Post reports, are also concerned the use of microchips could
be the "mark of the beast" -- or the coming of the
antichrist.

"My understanding -- I'm
not a theologian -- but there's a prophecy in the Bible that
says you'll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor
sell things in end times," Del. Mark L. Cole, the bill's
sponsor, told the Post. "Some people think these computer
chips might be that mark."

Cole reportedly said that he
primarily sponsored the bill because of the privacy issues.

"I just think you should
have the right to control your own body," he said.

Yet some fundamentalist Christians
see more serious concerns in the Book of Revelation in the Bible,
which reads, "He causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand,
or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number
of his name." Those opposed to the legislation mocked the
connection to the Bible story. Del. Robert Brink reportedly said
he never heard voters on the campaign trail mention any concerns
about microchips.

"I didn't hear anything
about the danger of asteroids striking the Earth, about the threat
posed by giant alligators in our cities' sewer systems or about
the menace of forced implantation of microchips in human beings,"
he said. Some other states, including Georgia and Tennessee,
are considering similar measures. A couple of states including
California and Wisconsin have already passed similar laws.http://www.cbsnews.com/news/va-lawmakers-oppose-forced-microchip-implantation-and-the-antichrist/

WOULD
YOU LET YOUR BOSS IMPLANT YOU WITH A MICROCHIP?

Belgian firm offers to turn
staff into cyborgs to replace ID cards
NewFusion is offering to implant the identification chips
in employees' hands
Chips contain personal information and provide access to
the company systems
10,000 people worldwide are believed to already have microchip
implants
But the controversial devices raise questions about personal
security and safety

By Tim Collins For Mailonline

Published: February 8, 2017
- In a move that could be lifted straight from science fiction,
workers at a Belgian marketing firm are being offered the chance
to have microchips implanted in their bodies. The chips contain
personal information and provide access to the company's IT systems
and headquarters, replacing existing ID cards. The controversial
devices raise questions about personal security and safety, including
whether they may allow the movements of people with implants
to be tracked. Belgian marketing firm NewFusion is offering its
staff the chance to replace their existing ID cards with RFID
chips implanted under their skin

WHAT ARE RFID CHIPS?

Radio-frequency identification
(RFID) chips are about the same size as a grain of rice.

They store personal security
information which can be transmitted over short distances to
special receivers.

They can already be found in
contactless cards - including the Oyster system in London.

They are also similar to the
chips implanted in pets.

It is believed there are 10,000
people across the world using microchip technology inside their
bodies.

NewFusion, a marketing firm
in Belgium, is offering the chip to its employees.

The radio-frequency identification
(RFID) chips are about the same size as a grain of rice and store
personal security information which can be transmitted over short
distances to special receivers. RFID chips can already be found
in contactless cards, including banks cards and the Oyster system
which is used by more than 10 million people to pay for public
transport in London.

They are also similar to the
chips implanted in pets.

The ones used at NewFusion cost
around 100 each (£85 or $106) and are inserted between
the thumb and index finger.

A growing number of people and
businesses are choosing to adopt the practice, known as biohacking.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4203148/Company-offers-RFID-microchip-implants-replace-ID-cards.html

WHAT
IS A CONSERVATIVE REPROBATE?

February 10, 2017 - The Conservative
movement of today - which we are a part of - basically consists
of individuals with various personal beliefs (both religious
and ideological), but conservatism in general sadly REJECTS
outright the absolute authority of the Bible, the Holy Word
of Almighty God. It is a bestselling book widely
reverenced, but too many Conservatives REJECT its Divine authority
and preeminence with a neutralizing relativism. In rejecting
Almighty God's Divine Authority and ETERNAL Absolutes of Righteousness
(Perfection) they have become reprobate in their thinking. Thus
receiving the name, Conservative Reprobates. These
Subjective Conservatives cannot see out of this box
called time, and thus they are oblivious to the realities of
Holy Scripture truth. This includes the coming establishment
of the literal Kingdom of Almighty God on earth, as well as their
own ETERNAL destiny (John 3:3-5; Romans 8:5-8; 1 Cor. 2:12-14;
Jude 1:19). These Subjective Conservatives cannot
see out of this box called time, and thus they are oblivious
to the realities of Holy Scripture truth. This includes the coming
establishment of the literal Kingdom of Almighty God on earth,
as well as their own ETERNAL destiny. Many conservatives in the
New Media are on a suicide alert today trying to
cope with the present realities at hand. They are quite passionate
about our declining American culture and government. Sadly though,
Mr. Limbaugh, Mr. Hannity, Mr. Savage and others will NOT be
objective about the realities of Almighty God and His Word to
receive its simple message (Acts 16:31; Romans 14:17; 1 Cor.
15:2-4). Why not, you might ask? Well, for one thing a lack of
genuine humility will prevent anyone from turning to God and
knowing the truth (1 Pet. 5:6; Matt. 11:28-30). Committed and
sincere but blinded in their pride, they are thus doomed to their
own subjective world view of reality (John 5:37-41; Rom. 7:24-25).

AN ECOLOGICAL CONVERSION CALLED
BY GOD (AND A SCIENTIST) IN THE CLOUD FOREST

April 22, 2016 by Erin Wathen
- Guest Post: by Scott Hardin-Nieri - Our family delighted in
Gods creation as we served in Monteverde, Costa Rica as
Global Ministries Volunteers. We met neighbors like Howler Monkeys,
Three Wattle Bell Birds, Sloths and Toucans. We learned their
names and recognized their voices and watched and listened to
them with awe. There were human neighbors who also inspired us;
like the cab drivers, hotel owners, tropical biologists, bakers,
house keepers, coffee farmers, and teachers from faith
backgrounds as varied as Catholic, Quaker and Disciples of Christ.

From them, sad words would eventually
be spoken: Our water wells have dried up - ?The frogs arent
around here anymore - Our forest orchids are dying

This is a cloud forest! where
are the clouds?
By Haakon S. Krohn - In Monteverde we heard about the negative
impacts of a changing climate. Climate change in Monteverde is
not a liberal, conservative, rich or poor issue; it is everybodys
issue. In Costa Rica our relationship to and dependence on nature,
other people and God was deepened as we were entangled in the
beauty of the cloudforest. In a new way, we had fallen in love
with God with one another, and with the richness of creation
in the cloud forest. Our renewed love and awareness created a
sense of the urgency regarding our ecological time. This urgency
culminated at our denominations General Assembly during
a brief visit to the U.S.. At this large gathering, I shared
my concerns with anyone who would listen and searched for ways
to address the global ecological crisis. Some people I talked
with were generally supportive of my quest for an empowered church
body to engage creation care and climate change in particular.
There were genuine conversations and dreaming, but many reactions
were variations of the Sweet Southern backhand bless your
little heart. It seemed like climate change and therefore
those creatures and people I loved in Costa Rica were far
down a long to do list for the church. After our
gathering, I returned to Central America filled with frustration
and sadness. A sustainable planet needed leadership 30 years
ago and I thought that the church was simply not up for the task
especially while facing so many other challenges. After almost
20 years, I decided that it was time to leave Christian ministry
and to seek other venues to live out my faith by caring for Gods
planet and people. I still loved God and sought to follow Christ,
but I was angry and heartbroken. The church had raised me and
my children, had been a source of so much life; and yet I believed
it was sitting on the sideline during one of the greatest challenges
humanity has ever faced.

JUDGE
NEIL GORSUCH, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CHOICE TO REPLACE THE LATE ANTONIN
SCALIA

Judge Neil Gorsuch, Pres. Trumps
choice to replace the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court,
and his family have been sitting under the ministry of Rev. Susan
Springer who pastors St. Johns Episcopal Church in Boulder,
Colorado. The denomination is liberal on many social issues,
including abortion, same-sex marriage, and climate change.

The first word that St.
Johns uses to describe itself on its website and Facebook
page is inclusive, and the church is led by a female
rector. On its website, the church encourages members to write
letters to Congress asking for actions addressing climate change.

I found the following on the
sites Faith in Action page: The Episcopal Churchs
position on abortion is as follows:

[W]hile a woman has the
right to terminate her pregnancy, nevertheless it does not approve
of the use of abortion as a means of birth control or family
planning. Abortion is condoned only in cases of rape, incest,
fetal abnormalities, or when a mothers physical or mental
health is at risk. Though abortion is always seen to have a tragic
dimension, the Church opposes any legislation which would prevent
women from obtaining abortions or information about abortions.
Judge Gorsuch has not ruled on an abortion case. His book The
Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia (2006) is mostly likely
the closest were going to get on what he believes on the
subject. While he never mentions abortion, he does address the
inviolability-of-life principle which is strongly
associated with the concept of human equality; the two are mutually
reinforcing ideas.

We may never know his position
on abortion during the hearings because he will most likely say
that since the issue may be taken up by the court in the future,
it would not be right to assert an opinion on what may be a case
before the court in the future. Its my guess that those
who oppose Gorsuch will comb through The Future of Assisted Suicide
and Euthanasia to find language and application of the books
subject matter Continued:

As state legislatures get to
work across the country, local Catholic conferences add faith-filled
voice to the conversation and equip laity for faithful citizenship.

Jonathan Liedl - Nation - February
9, 2017 - Its not uncommon in statehouses across the country
for a priest or a bishop to offer a blessing at the beginning
of the legislative session. But many Catholics might be surprised
to learn that the Churchs presence in the halls of local
governance continues well after the session has been gaveled
in.

In state capitols from Sacramento
to St. Paul, Tallahassee to Topeka, the Catholic Church is advocating
for policies in line with a consistent ethic of life through
the work of state Catholic conferences. The Catholic Church
and Catholic conferences boldly and bravely enter the fray of
politics with compassion, respect and, most importantly, the
truth, said Jenny Kraska, executive director of the Colorado
Catholic Conference.

The roles a Catholic conference
plays can vary slightly by state, with some conferences taking
on added duties, such as administration of diocesan employee
benefits. At the heart of it, though, a state Catholic conference
serves as the official public-policy voice of the states
bishops, coordinating the public-policy efforts of several dioceses.
When we speak, we do so on behalf of our states bishops,
and it is their positions on legislation that we convey,
explained Jeff Caruso, executive director of the Virginia Catholic
Conference.
Like a state-version of the more well-known U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops, the bishops of a state comprise the conference
and are served by staff. Staff sizes range from one to double
digits and can include lobbyists, communications specialists
and outreach coordinators. Not all states have Catholic conferences,
but Rick Barnes, the executive director of the New York State
Catholic Conference and president of the National Association
of State Catholic Conference Directors (NASCCD), says the number
is growing. Forty-three states are now represented in NASCCD,
including six single-diocese states that have a diocesan public-policy
office in lieu of a state conference. More bishops in states
that didnt have them have seen the value of it, Barnes
explained.. http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/the-churchs-voice-at-the-capitol

CLIMATE CHANGE CAMPAIGN

Cif green - Slow Sunday: THE
SIMPLE SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING

Satish Kumar - MAKE SUNDAY A
LOW-CARBON DAY

Guardian - September 17, 2009
- The 10:10 movement supported by the Guardian is a wonderful
way to empower ordinary people to participate in the great movement
of mitigating global warming. We cannot wait until governments
are enlightened enough to legislate and cap the carbon emissions.
Matters are urgent. We have to act now, without any delay. The
power of public opinion and citizen action will have a strong
impact on the climate conference taking place in Copenhagen.
One thing we can easily do to achieve this goal: we can declare
Sunday to be a fossil fuel-free day or a low-carbon day or at
least an energy-saving day. We can start this week, this month
or in 2010. We can start individually and collectively. The long
journey to cut carbon dioxide emissions can start in the here
and now.

Not long ago Sunday used to
be a day of rest, a day of spiritual renewal, a day for families
to come together, but we have changed Sunday from a day of rest
to a day of shopping, flying and driving. However, in the context
of excessive carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, which
are bringing catastrophic upheavals, we can and should restore
Sunday to a day for Gaia, a day for the Earth.

There will be no great hardship
in cutting down all non-essential and non-urgent use of fossil
fuels for one day a week. We can easily close supermarkets,
department stores and petrol stations. We can reduce our mobility
to the bare essentials and without harming the economy in any
way. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/cif-green/2009/sep/17/low-carbon-sunday

 February 1, 2017 
Anne Kurian  General Audience - On February 1, 2017, the
Pope appealed to local Churches to mobilize for the protection
of the planet. In the course of the General Audience in the Vaticans
Paul VI Hall, he greeted the delegation of the Global Catholic
Climate Movement (GCCM). The objective of the Movement is, notably,
to sensitize Catholics through its networks, to promote ecological
conversion towards a low carbon society and to require
leaders to engage in an ambitious climatic action.

He thanked them for their engagement
in protecting our common home, in these times of grave socio-environmental
crisis. I encourage you to continue to weave networks
so that the local Churches will respond with determination to
the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor, continued
the Pontiff. In the crowd, the GCCM delegation waved banners
greeting Pope Francis encyclical on integral ecology: Cheers

POPE
ADMITS CORRUPTION AT THE VATICAN IN WIDE-RANGING TALK TO MEN
RELIGIOUS

By Joshua J. McElwee - February
9, 2017 - Rome -- Pope Francis admitted to the leaders of the
world's Catholic male religious orders in a meeting last fall
that the Vatican is a corrupt place, but said he is at peace
in his work reforming the church's command structures. "There
is corruption in the Vatican," the pontiff told members
of the Union of Superiors General Nov. 26, according to a report
of the meeting released for the first time Thursday by the Italian
Jesuit magazine La Civilta Cattolica. The pope made the admission
after being asked by one of the religious leaders how he maintains
serenity in his work. "I do not take tranquilizers!"
Francis joked, before adding: "The Italians offer good advice:
to live in peace you need a healthy dose of not caring."
"I am at peace," said the pontiff, explaining that
he has a small statue of a sleeping St. Joseph on his desk and
that he places notes identifying problems he needs Joseph to
help with under the statue. "Now he is sleeping under a
mattress of notes!" he joked again. "That is why I
sleep well: it is a grace of God."
Francis was speaking in November to about 140 male superior generals,
who were meeting in Rome for the 88th general assembly of their
umbrella group. Thursday's report of the encounter was written
by Jesuit Fr. Antonio Spadaro, the chief editor of Civilta Cattolica
and a papal confidant.
Release of the report of the November meeting comes as the Jesuit
magazine is celebrating is 4,000th issue since its founding in
1850, and as the outlet is beginning to publish editions in four
additional languages: English, Spanish, French and Korean.
In Thursday's report, Spadaro says the meeting between the pope
and the religious leaders lasted three full hours and was not
broadcast originally because it "had to be free and fraternal,
made up of unfiltered questions and answers." Besides mentioning
corruption in the Vatican, Francis also speaks at length about
how he sees the work of the church, how religious leaders can
prevent sexual abuse of minors, and what community life should
look like.

HOW POPE FRANCIS CAN CLEANSE
THE FAR-RIGHT ROT FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

By Emma-Kate Symons - February
9, 2017 - Emma-Kate Symons is a Washington-based journalist and
former Paris correspondent. Her work has been published in Foreign
Policy, Women in the World in association with the New York Times,
Quartz, the Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal and the Australian
Financial Review.

Pope Francis needs to take tougher
action against the United States most influential Catholic
in Rome, Cardinal Raymond Breitbart Burke. The renegade
cleric is not only undermining Franciss reformist, compassionate
papacy, and gospel teaching as it applies to refugees and
Muslims, but the rebel prince of the church is also using
his position within the walls of the Vatican to legitimize extremist
forces that want to bring down Western liberal democracy, Stephen
K. Bannon-style. Simply put, the Vatican is facing a political
war between the modernizing Pope Francis and a conservative wing
that wants to reassert white Christian dominance. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2017/02/09/

POPE FRANCIS: 'MUSLIM TERRORISM
DOES NOT EXIST
by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. - February 17, 2017 - In an impassioned
address Friday, Pope Francis denied the existence of Islamic
terrorism, while simultaneously asserting that the ecological
crisis is real. Christian terrorism does not exist,
Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not
exist. They do not exist, Francis said in his speech to
a world meeting of populist movements. What he apparently meant
is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims
are terroristsa fact evident to allyet his words
also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism
exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction
to established fact. No people is criminal or drug-trafficking
or violent, Francis said, while also suggestingas
he has on other occasionsthat terrorism is primarily a
result of economic inequalities rather than religious beliefs.
The poor and the poorer peoples are accused of violence
yet, without equal opportunities, the different forms of aggression
and conflict will find a fertile terrain for growth and will
eventually explode. The Pope also reiterated his conviction
that all religions promote peace and that the danger of violent
radicalization exists equally in all religions. There are
fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religionsand
with intolerant generalizations they become stronger because
they feed on hate and xenophobia, he said.http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/02/17/pope-francis-muslim-terrorism-not-exist/

Francis has spoken about his experience in matters of faith crises
and opened up about empty moments, while also stressing
that he is a sinner and fallible, in
an interview with a German newspaper. When asked by German newspaper
Die Zeit whether he had ever doubted God's existence, the pontiff
said, "I, too, know these empty moments." Pope Francis
&COPY; Max RossiBetter to be an atheist: Pope Francis
takes aim at hypocritical Catholics He stated, however,
that there is a silver lining in such moments, noting that "crises
also provide an opportunity to grow" and that any faith
that doesn't face times of crisis "remains infantile."

Francis went on to state that
he does not consider himself to be special, stressing that he
is a normal believer and a "sinner" like everyone else.

"We mustn't forget that
any form of idealization of a human being always brings a subliminal
brand of aggression with it as well. If I am idealized I feel
under attack," he said. I don't see myself as anything
special...I'm a sinner, I'm fallible," the 80-year-old pontiff
continued.

He went on to warn against the
dangers of populism, calling it "evil.". "Populism
is evil and ends badly, as has been shown by the past century,"
he said.

LATEST 'CHRISTIAN' FILM BLASTED
AS NOT SO CHRISTIAN

'No way on Earth this has anything
to do with the faith -

February 13, 2017 - WND - Its
a Christian book featured on numerous bestseller
lists for more than 100 weeks  an unprecedented accomplishment
in publishing history. Almost 10 years after publication, it
remains one of the top selling books at Amazon.com and a bestseller
in several categories.
And now The Shack has been turned into a movie premiering
next month that will bring its message to a whole new audience.

Some Christians might be tempted
to rejoice. But The Shack gives audiences false hope,
telling them what they want to hear, say critics. And those who
know the book and its theology contend it teaches heresy and
is leading Christians astray.

Leading the effort to expose
The Shack is James De Young, a New Testament language
and literature professor at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon,
who holds multiple degrees from respected seminaries, including
Dallas Seminary, Talbot Theological Seminary and Moody Bible
Institute.

De Young is a former longtime
colleague of The Shack author Paul Young who challenges
the mega-bestseller in his blockbuster exposé, Burning
Down The Shack. De Young asserts The Shack
promotes a heretical idea of universal reconciliation,
the concept that all people will be saved.

The danger from all of
this is to distort the gospel, to give people a false hope of
being able to change their destiny after death and to distort
the meaning of Christs death, he told WND.
Indeed, the need for Christ to die a sacrificial death
for peoples sins is dissipated and eventually erased. But
the greatest danger is that universal reconciliation redefines
who God is by insisting that the attribute of Gods love
trumps his other attributes of justice, holiness and righteousness.
Love limits his other attributes. In so doing, some attributes
are not fully expressed or perfect. In this way God ceases to
be God. Instead we have a man-created, man-centered god.
Indeed, De Young contends The Shack essentially tells
Christians their feelings are more important than the Bible.
Sadly, according to De Young, it is a message many believers
want to hear.

In the postmodern spirit
of our age, the authority of the Bible takes second place to
a personal sense of what to believe, who God is, or what God
does or approves, De Young said. Each person comes
to believe and do what is right in his own eyes.
Ignorance of the teaching of the Bible is widespread. The influence
of liberal theology and a culture where entertainment, sport
and wealth rule leave Christians heavily oppressed and weakened
to withstand such an onslaught against the truth. People prefer
what feels good rather than the truth which may hurt.http://www.wnd.com/2017/02/latest-christian-film-blasted-as-not-so-christian/

THE BOOK: THE SHACK
by William P. Young - The author states about this book, 
The Shack is about theology. Keep this in mind when people
(like Dr. Kent Hovind) endorse the book and say its just
a story. The author doesnt say its just a story,
he says all of life is theology, and the shack is about
theology.
1. The note from Papa - a black woman plays the part of the Father
 is extra-biblical divine revelation, which goes against
the long held belief of Sola Scriptura, scripture
alone. In the book, God is still revealing special revelation
to man, this is a road to confusion. The entire book shows God
is still communicating with men outside His written word. It
also places words and false theology in the mouth of God.
2. Blasphemous representation of God. Papa says, I am neither
male nor female. In the Bible God never represents Himself
as female. He uses the following to describe Himself:
a. God  not goddess
b. Father  not mother
c. He  not she
d. Him  not her
e. Christ, Son  not daughter
f. Lord of Lords
g. Bridegroom  not bride
h. Husband  not wife
i. Prophet  not prophetess
j. High Priest  not priestess
k. King of Kings  not queen of queens
3. The author believes the Father was crucified, all the Trinity
was crucified.
4. Modalism is taught, a heretical belief that the Trinity is
false; it teaches one person who plays three roles  sometimes
as the Father, sometimes as Christ the Son, sometimes the Holy
Spirit. This belief has been condemned since the 3rd century.
a. Page 95, Papa has scars on her wrists.
b. Papa said, When we three spoke ourself into existence
as the Son of God, we became fully human. Thus Papa teaches that
all three members became incarnate.
5. SIN  the Bible says all sin must be punished. But Papa
denies that sin has to be punished. I dont need to
punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you
from the inside. It is not my purpose to punish it; its
my joy to cure it. Pg 120
6. Being saved in The Shack is to be saved from sadness and depression.
7. The Jesus of The Shack said, As the crowning glory of
Creation, you were made in our image, unencumbered by structure
and free simply to be in relationship with me and
one another. If you had truly learned to regard each others
concerns as significant as your own, there would be no need for
hierarchy. Pg 124
a. Femininism  rejects male headship in the home. The book
rejects hierarchy and rules. The Jesus of the book said, The
world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if
woman ruled. Pg 147-8. This means the Bibles command
for women to submit to their husbands is harmful to families,
and that they would be better with female leadership. The Shack
sees Wives submit to your husbands as a man-made
rule.
8. Repentance is not necessary.
9. It teaches Universalism  the idea that all men are or
will be saved. Papa said, Honey, you asked me what Jesus
accomplished on the cross; so now listen to me carefully: through
his death and resurrection, I am now fully reconciled to the
world. Mack responds, The whole world? You mean those
who believe in you, right? Papa replied (pg 192), The whole
world, Mack.
Papa said, In Jesus I have forgiven all humans their sins
against me.
Missys murderer is not going to skip through the
pearly gates playing with ladybugs. To begin with heaven is where
the blessed Trinity dwells, and the evil that has hijacked and
so horribly twists and misuses this man avoids the light at all
costs, while the murderer is forgiven, loved, and accepted, while
he is embraced and included, he does not know it by any stretch
of the imagination, and such unknowing leaves him writhing in
pain and trapped in the clutches of darkness. He belongs to the
Father, Son, and Spirit  always has, always will 
but he has given himself to participate in darkness. He acts
out of the lie of the evil one and its grotesque meaninglessness,
wreaking havoc in the lives of all around. He has become a terrible
monster, living an alien form of existence in violation of the
true self in Christ, and this alien existence must be transformed
in the fire of Jesus love.
10. Reconciliation - His view on hell is different from the Bible.
He is a universalist as he believes all sins have been paid for,
but that does not mean all are in relationship with the Father.
Young says, Human beings could say no to relationship and
that could be hell. But he does not believe in the hell
of the Bible. He believes hell is actually restorative, pruning,
purging. He believes all men have been redeemed regardless of
faith or repentance. In this gospel there is no condemnation
for unbelief. He believes in universal salvation. [ Email ]

"THE SHACK' EXCEEDED BOX
OFFICE EXPECTATIONS

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian
Post Reporter - March 6, 2017 - 'The Shack' Makes 'Divine' Box
Office Debut; Christians Warn of Portraying God as Woman. "The
Shack" exceeded box office expectations in its premier weekend
with one of the best openings for a faith-based film. But as
moviegoers watch a woman play God on the big screen, some Christians
want to clarify whether they should be more "inclusive"
or "gender-blended" when referring to God.

THE BIBLE NEVER TITLES GOD AS
OUR MOTHER

"[T]he Bible never titles
God as our Mother. But the question is worth looking at more
carefully because in dozens of places the Bible uses feminine
language for God," Tony Reinke, author of Newton on the
Christian Life: To Live Is Christ, writes in his blog post titled
"Our Mother Who Art In Heaven?" Reinke made it clear
that God is spirit and not a sexual or biological being. Though
there are instances throughout Scripture where feminine imagery
 such as giving birth or nursing a child  is used
to describe God's actions or character, Reinke argued that when
it comes to titles, feminine ones are never used in referencing
God. "That explains why in Scripture we find many masculine
titles for God: Lord, Father, King, Judge, Savior, Ruler, Warrior,
Shepherd, Husband, and even a handful of metaphorical masculine
titles like Rock, Fortress, and Shield. While feminine titles
for God  Queen, Lady, Mother, and Daughter  are never
used," he wrote. http://www.christianpost.com/news/the-shack-makes-divine-box-office-debut-christians-warn-of-portraying-god-as-woman-176768

THE
BIBLICAL INFIDELITY OF PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANS
One of the most fascinating speeches in the Bible happens in
Acts 5 with Jewish Pharisee Gamaliel addressing the Sanhedrin.
He warns them that if the message being preached by the Apostles
of Jesus was of man, it would fail. But if it was from God, it
couldn't be stopped.
It was of God, and it wasn't stopped.I find that passage particularly
relevant today within American Christendom.
There is a reason that liberal Christian movements like those
championed by Jim Wallis, Rachel Held Evans, Shane Claiborne
and others are so ineffective and unpersuasive in American culture.
Rather than seeking to glorify and build the Kingdom of God,
they regularly appropriate the language of Scripture to advocate
for earthly, largely political causes that never address the
principal need of humanity: redemption from sin.
For instance, preaching the words of Scripture when it comes
to our nation's policy towards refugees is admirable (provided
it is done in context) only if you don't ignore, downplay, or
reject the counsel of Scripture when it comes to policy regarding
abortion, marriage, and human sexuality.
So-called progressive Christians have long chastised their conservative
brethren for cherry-picking Scripture to support certain political
causes. And to the extent that conservatives have done that,
it has been to our detriment. One need only walk through the
graveyard of the "Religious Right" for confirmation
of that reality. The Religious Right did not fall apart because
it sought to apply the truth of the Bible to politics. It was
when it tied the message of the Gospel to a political agenda.
Before long, the Republican Party became an idol, and its success
was seen as the most effective way to advance righteousness in
the land. The Religious Right ceased to be about God, and thus
it ceased to be.
But the same is happening with the Progressive Christianity of
Wallis, Evans, Claiborne, Brian McLaren, and Tony Campolo that
so desperately wants to be a formidable political force in America.
In an effort to become such, they use the Bible as a weapon not
against the sin and unrighteousness that plagues humanity, but
against those who don't share their politics. Loving like Jesus
means caring about what He cared about, wanting what He wanted,
acting like He acted. And any rational reading of Scripture reveals
that Jesus always cared first about the spiritual health of the
individual, second about their physical health. http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=991

TOP EVANGELICAL LEADERS WRITE
BIG LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT ABOUT REFUGEES

February 9, 2017 - More than
500 evangelical leaders from all 50 states signed a letter to
President Trump asking him to reconsider his controversial executive
order. The letter included the likes of Ann Voskamp, Southeastern
Baptist Theological Seminary President Daniel Akin, and Open
Doors USA President and CEO David Curry.

While they acknowledged the
order could prevent bloodshed on American soil, America should
still be a nation of compassion. "We live in a dangerous
world and affirm the crucial role of government in protecting
us from harm and in setting the terms on refugee admissions.
However, compassion and security can coexist, as they have for
decades," states the letter. "While we are eager to
welcome persecuted Christians, we also welcome vulnerable Muslims
or people of other faiths or no faith at all. This executive
order dramatically reduces the overall number of refugees allowed
this year, robbing families of hope and a future." The letter
points out that thousands of churches have welcomed and sheltered
suffering refugees through the Refugee Resettlement Program.
"It is not new for the church to use its voice on behalf
of those who have none. It is part of our historic call and identity.
And for nearly four decades World Relief has helped thousands
of churches and tens of thousands of volunteers express that
call by welcoming refugees. This letter is evidence that the
church will not abandon its calling to serve the most vulnerable,"
said World Relief President Scott Arbeiter. Christian author
Lynne Hybels says the refugee ban debate has a greater spritual
side to it that goes further than all the politics. http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2017/february/top-evangelical-leaders-write-a-big-letter-to-the-president-about-refugees

THE FIRST BIBLE? NEW DEAD SCROLLS
CAVE FOUND BY HEBREW UNIVERSITY ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN ISRAEL

By John Walsh - February 8,
2017 - Archeologists in Israel discovered a 12th cave they believe
once housed the Dead Sea Scrolls after finding historical artifacts
proving they had been stored there. If they are right, it would
be the latest scroll cave discovered in over 60 years,
Harretz reported Wednesday.

Researchers at the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem's Institute of Archeology found Cave 12, in the
archeological site in Qumran, Israel, close to the location where
the first Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947 in the West
Bank. Until the announcement, it was believed that 11 caves had
once contained the scrolls. Cave 12 contained shattered pottery
jars, which held the scrolls, scroll casings and strips of cloth
that tied the scrolls, which were all over 2,000 years old, one
of the projects head researchers, Dr. Oren Gutfeld from
the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. http://www.ibtimes.com/first-bible-new-dead-sea-scrolls-cave-found-hebrew-university-archaeologists-israel-2488828

February 8, 2017 - On Tuesday
night, the Boy Scouts said in a statement that the organization
"is pleased to welcome Joe and the Maldonado family back
into the Scouting community. Moving forward, the BSA will continue
to work to bring the benefits of our programs to as many children,
families and communities as possible. http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/

- Islamic radicals from the Muslim Brotherhood are actively trying
to gain a "monopoly" over mosques in the

eastern German state of Saxony
to attract more followers and increase their influence, the local
security service chief has warned.

German police want refugees
kept away from carnival. The members of the radical Salafist
organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, which was established in
Egypt in 1928, have long been active in Saxony, although
they were stealthy, Gordian Meyer-Plath, the president
of the regional department of the German domestic security and
anti-terrorist service, the BfV, told Germanys MDR broadcaster.

Meyer-Plath warned, however,
that only now, when a [large] number of Muslims have come
to Germany, do they see a chance to expand their network beyond
some central structures and become interesting for the new Muslims
in Saxony. German finance minister admits govts refugee
policy went off course in 2015. While downplaying
the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood in Germany as being
beyond Jihad, meaning that the group is not actively
involved in terrorist attacks, the security official pointed
to the threat it poses to democratic society. The Muslim
Brothers still want to establish Sharia law in Germany,
which would have grave consequences for religious freedom, womens
rights and democratic values, Meyer-Plath said.

The group is active in about
70 countries, where it builds mosques, schools and hospitals,
presents itself as a democratic force and officially distances
itself from an idea of the global Jihad in an attempt to win
the sympathies of locals.https://www.rt.com/news/376517-muslim-brotherhood-germany-mosques/

Chuck Ross - Reporter - A federally-funded
Muslim social services group that counts an accused former Hamas
operative as its spiritual leader says that Alabama Sen. Jeff
Sessions should be disqualified from serving as attorney general.
Wafa House, based in Clifton, N.J., appears to be concerned that
a Sessions-led DOJ will cut into its funding stream because of
the Republicans past votes against the Violence Against
Women Act, a 1994 law which provides billions of dollars in funding
to investigate and prosecute violence crimes against women. Wafa
House, which focuses on cases involving Muslim and immigrant
victims, received $800,000 in federal grants last year through
VAWA and a DOJ victims assistance program. The non-profits
grants last year far surpassed previous years totals as
well as its entire budget for 2015. The group received $45,000
in each of the previous three years. In 2015, its entire budget
was $360,000, its tax forms show. [Email]
